Timothy Leary's birthday party

Screenwriter and actor Tom Sierchio chances to meet actress Parker Posey and she writes down the address for a party on his hand. He goes to the party, and eventually figures out it's Timothy Leary's last birthday party. (He never meets Ms. Posey again, and it's not even clear Leary knew who Posey was.) An amusing memoir. Via R.U. Sirius on Twitter, who writes, "A legendary bash and I missed it. I was on deadline and it seemed important at the time."
